The waterfront of Gustavia, St. Barts

Founded in 1785 and named after the King of Sweden, which ruled St. Barts from 1784 to 1878, the island's extremely laid back capital has a population of around just 2,300, as well as some 200 boutiques and galleries specializing in all manner of local and international merchandise; a couple of museums; more than 80 restaurants; and several dozen accommodations (none of them particularly cheap, as you might expect).
